KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 -- Malaysia's men's doubles shake-up has sparked whispers of a fallout between Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, but national coach Herry Iman Pierngadi has moved quickly to shut down the speculation.

According to national daily The Star, Herry insisted there is no bad blood between the country's top men's doubles pair, saying the decision to separate them is purely a tactical move aimed at reviving their fortunes after an underwhelming run of results.

"For me, splits in doubles are normal. It happens in other countries too. There is no fight or disagreement. Aaron and Wooi Yik are fine," Herry was quoted as saying by The Star.

"It's just that the results this year have not been good enough."
